1. Flag of all countries around the world
Flag of China
The flag of People Republic of China was adopted in 1949,
when Mao Zedong founded the Republic. The dominant
colour of the flag is red, which is Chinese traditional colour
and also is characteristic of communism and revolutionary
moods. In the left part of the flag, we can find one large and
four small stars, whose symbolism can be interpreted in many
different ways. One theory says that the large star represents
the Communist Party and the small stars stand for four social
classes in China - workers, farmers, entrepreneurs, and
capitalists. Another explanation agrees on the big star, but
insists that the small stars symbolize the four smaller parties
that were allowed in China. According to others, the stars may
symbolize the five largest ethnic groups in the country.

2. Flag of Canada
The current Canadian flag was raised up in 1965 for the first
time. Its author was Dr. George Stanley, who intended to
capture several important elements of Canadian history. The
central theme of the flag is a maple leaf, which refers to the
indigenous population that has been using the maple sap for
centuries, and which still is a traditional Canadian product.
Maple leaf became a symbol of Canadian athletes in the 20th
century and also a symbol of Canadian soldiers in both world
wars. Red leaf is placed on a white background and the flag is
lined with two vertical red stripes. Red and white are referring
to historical ties to the UK - it was red and white flag with the
St. George's cross which was erected by John Cabot on
Canadian soil in 1497.

3. Flag of India
The flag of India consists of three horizontal stripes - saffron
orange, white, and green. The symbolism of colours is as
follows: orange represents Hinduism, courage and sacrifice,
green faith and Islam, and white symbolizes commitment to
peaceful coexistence of both religions. In the centre of the
white stripe, a motif of blue sun with torches - an ancient
symbol of Brahmanism and god Vishnu, is placed. This motif
has appeared in the 3rd century BC., but it has not appeared
on the flag until 1947, when India gained independence from
Britain, and when the former colony was divided into Hindu
India and Muslim Pakistan. The symbol of wheel replaced
Gandhi spinning wheel, which symbolized India's economic
self-sufficiency.

4. Flag of Italy
Italian national flag was inspired by the French flag, which
was brought there in 1796 when Napoleon attacked Italy. It
differs from the French flag only by the left stripe that has
green colour, not blue. There are several theories explaining
the green colour. One of them says that Napoleon chose green
as a reminder of the green island Corsica, whereas others
think it refers to the green uniforms of Milan militia. Green is
also associated with the region of Lombardy. Italy was very
fragmented and unstable until the late 19th century, and this
was also reflected in the frequent changes of the design of the
flag. The flag in its current form was adopted in 1946.

5. Flag of South Korea
The state flag of South Korea was adopted in 1950 after the
division of the country into the northern and the southern
territory. This flag, called taegukki in Korean, has originated
in the 19th century. In the middle of the white rectangular
background, there is a red-blue symbol of duality and
harmony of opposites called yin and yang, where the red part
is on top and the blue at the bottom. In each corner of the flag,
there is a one trigram (called Kwae) composed of three
dashes, or a combination of whole and broken lines. These
four trigrams taken from Chinese philosophy are intended to
represent the four elements - sky, fire, water, and earth. The
white background symbolizes purity, hope and peace.

6. Flag of Malaysia
The flag of Malaysia is very similar to the flag of the United
States. Fourteen stripes of white and red colour indicate 13
countries of the federation and a territory of the capital. The
official name of the flag from 1997 could be translated as
"Famous stripes". The yellow star has also fourteen points and
it is placed on a blue field in the upper left part of the flag
together with a yellow crescent. Crescent and star are
traditional symbols of Islam, blue refers to the membership of
the British Commonwealth and the red and white are
considered traditional colours of Southeast Asian Malagasy
nations. Yellow is the colour of sultans who rule the nine
states of the Malaysian federation.

7. Flag of New Zealand
At first sight, the flag of New Zealand reflects its colonial
past. Both Union Jack flag in the upper left corner and the
blue background point to former ties to the Great Britain. Four
red stars with white framing symbolize a constellation of the
Southern Cross, which dominates the sky there. The same
motif can be found on the Australian flag, so it highlights the
fact that both countries are located in the Pacific Ocean in
mutual geographic proximity. Officially, the blue colour
expresses blue sea and clear sky in the vicinity of New
Zealand. The flag was adopted on 24th March 1902, but it was
already designed as a naval flag in 1869.

8. Flag of Russia
Russian flag is composed of three horizontal stripes of equal
width. Red, blue and white are considered traditional Pan-
Slavic colours and wide number of states adopted them in the
19th century since Russia was at that time the only
independent Slavic state. During the rule of the Communist
Party, the tricolour was replaced by the red flag with a
hammer and a sickle in the upper left part of the flag. After the
fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, Kremlin decided to return to
traditional tricolour. There are many theories explaining the
symbolism of the tricolour. White can represent the
aristocracy, Belarusians, God, peace, purity, or honesty; blue
Ukrainians, tsar, persistence, or faith and fortitude; red can
stand for Russians, people, power, or blood shed for the
country.
